Despite only starting at MyHealth St. Helena in 2024, James has been working as a GP in the local area for more than 12 years. James graduated from Monash University in 2008, and after working in the Eastern Health network, began practicing as a GP in Diamond Creek in 2012. James has special interests in Aged Care and Paediatrics. He has also completed training in FertilityCare, which utilises the knowledge and understanding of the naturally-occurring phases of a woman's fertility and infertility.

Outside of work, James spends his time running around after his 8 children, and enjoys playing basketball. He also thinks he knows how to play guitar and banjo (he doesn't).
